Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Lamps on or near graves are called superstitions in the Shari'ah. In fact, it is a Hindu custom that resembles fire-worshiping pagans. For this reason, it is strictly forbidden in the Hadith. It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cursed those who visit graves and those who build monuments and light lamps. In another hadith, Hazrat Aisha. It is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “If anyone discovers something in Islam that is not in Islam, it is abominable.” So lighting a grave is a heinous crime and superstition. So we have to survive from this and we also have to warn the Muslims. 8278892462
